Summary: Ray, Abby and Carter get too attached to a patient! What will happen when they found she is a relation to one of their own?

Disclaimer: I don't own ER! Nope, none of it! However, I do own Sarah, so you can't have her!

Author's Note: Thanks for all the reviews. I will keep going on this until its done…or till it starts to really, really suck.

Breath of Life

Ray got to the ambulance as the doors opened. He shivered at sudden chill that had taken the December air.

"Fourteen year old, female, probable broken leg, wrist, dislocated shoulder, and possible head injury. Found her wandering outside, neara park, in nothing but a tee shirt and jeans," the paramedic listed off, obviously concerned about the girl.

"Okay, roll her inside," Ray started then thought for a second, "Sam, what's open?"

"Just the trauma rooms, it's a zoo in here!"

"Okay then, take her to trauma 2!" Ray looked down upon the girl as they rolled her stretcher inside. "Hi, I'm Dr. Barnett. What's your name sweetheart?"

"Sarah," the girl replied.

"What's your last name, Sarah?"

"I can't remember," the meek voice said.

"That's all right, Sarah," Ray replied, although puzzled by her response, " I need you to help us move you over to the other bed. Can you do that?" she nodded, and painfully slid over to the other gurney. Ray looked thoughtfully at the girl.

"Sarah, I need you to tell be what hurts."

"Everything," Sarah replied, obviously in againizing pain.

"Okay, Sarah, your shoulder is definetly dislocated, so I'm going to give you some pain medication and then were going to re-connect it. Does that sound like a plan?" as Sarah nodded, he turned to Sam, "Give her 2 mg of morphine.Oh and could you get a full blood workup, and a tox screen. I'm going to find Abby, she's done this before."

Ray stepped out into the hall and went down to the admit desk.

"Frank, do you know where Abby is?"

"Yeah, she's should just be coming off of her coffee break You might want to check the locker room."

"Okay thanks," Ray jogged off in the direction of the locker room. Absent-mindedly he ran right into Abby.

"That's the second time today, Ray!"

"Abby, just the person I was looking for. Could you come help me put my patient's shoulder back in so I can get her up to x-ray and CT? Both her leg and wrist are also broken and there's the possibility she may have a concussion."

"Fine! Lead the way," Abby answered, trying to hide the scorn in her voice. They walked towards and into the trauma room.

"Hey Sarah, I'm back. This is Dr. Lockhart. She's going to help put your shoulder back in," Ray said, as Abby gave a little wave.

"Hi. I'll tell you what we're going to do. We're going to take a sheet, wrap it aroung your shoulder, then Ray and I are going to stand on the other side of you and we're going to pull on the sheet. Then we're going to wheel you off to x-ray so we can get some pictures of your leg and wrist," Abby spoke with kindness and authority. She took the sheet from Sam, and wrapped it around Sarah's shoulder. Sam stood by Sarah's head and stroked her hair, as Abby and Ray grabbed the other end of the sheet.

"This is going to hurt, Sarah. On the count of 3," Ray was sympathetic towards the young girl, " 1…2…3…pull!" Sarah screamed as loud as she could as her shoulder snapped in. Abby instantly pulled over an oxygen mask and held it to her face.

"Take some deep breaths, Sarah. That's it, nice and easy," the nurse side of Abby took over, soothing the sobbing girl.

"Okay sweetheart, we're going to take you to x-ray now," Ray whispered.
